BIENVENUE à notre classe de 3e et 4e année! The first month of school is always very busy with establishing routines and getting to know one another. I look forward to meeting all of you at our 'Meet the teacher' evening!
As we begin our first month together, here are some of the concepts and skills we will be working on:
Language(Français & English)
In both reading(lecture) and writing(écriture) students will learn about Biographies & Autobiographies. Students will have lots of opportunities to build their oral skills as they present information about themselves and interview each other.
During this first month of school we will also be engaging in various oral language games and activities in order to review vocabulary and build French oral speaking skills.

Math
Our first math strand will be PATTERNING The big ideas for grade 3 and grade 4 are to describe, extend and create a variety of numeric and geometric patterns.
All math concepts and skills will be taught using real world connections that students can relate to and the use of a variety of strategies and manipulatives will be available to promote problem-solving skills.
